A great bit of service journalism. I've never seen something exactly like this: a "prebuttal" to a policy that hasn't been announced yet.
"Every dollar spent relitigating the disproven vaccine-autism link is a dollar stolen from research that could actually help people with autism — studies on support services, educational interventions, employment programs and other factors behind autism" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Data can easily be manipulated to show causation that doesn’t exist.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.
We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.
